Dianna Crumpler
Dianna Crumpler writes: "I live
in Memphis, Tennessee, where I have lived most of my life. I am a retired
wedding photographer and now spend most of my time shooting the beauty
in this wonderful world that God has created. Scenic photography has
always been my first love, but I truly enjoyed all my years of shooting
pictures of happy events in folks lives. Pictures, to me, are a way of
saving and reviewing all our memories."

hope maybe it could contribute to help people understand the importance
of nature protection). More of Marc's images can be seen at http://wild.images.free.fr,

Snow Monkey, Carillon, Can We Have Our Ball Back?, Ancient Paths and
Side_Reality.
Current books include, Releasing the Demons, a collection of horror

Vinay

of Ansel Adams inspired and opened his eyes to the grandeur of the American

how simplicity of form and subject could be rendered as art in photography.
Vinay lives in the Pacific Northwest, the beauty of which allows him to
pursue his photography. He recently moved to digital photography
with Nikon DSLRs but continues to use film. You can see more of Vinay's
work at http://www.pbase.com/vinaymala2000
where his galleries and pictures have been variously referred to as stunning,
awe inspiring, and rich in mood and color.
